Lindsay Lohan's dad behind Letterman "mistake"
 
LOS ANGELES - Lindsay Lohan's father on Wednesday claimed he was the mystery "friend" behind a bogus announcement of plans by his troubled daughter to appear on David Letterman's late-night television show. CBS had said a day earlier that Lohan, 24, was booked to appear by satellite on Thursday for the show's nightly "Top 10" comedy bit, a segment that recently has poked fun at her wave of personal problems.
 
Prosecutors get case in Mel Gibson extortion probe
 
LOS ANGELES - Investigators on Wednesday gave prosecutors all the evidence of actor Mel Gibson's extortion claims against his ex-girlfriend for a decision on whether to file criminal charges in the matter. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney said sheriffs had given prosecutors the case and "we will review it." No further details were available.
 
Banksy graffiti lands in LA ahead of Oscars
 
LOS ANGELES - Street artist Banksy's first film "Exit Through the Gift Shop" is up for an Oscar -- and it seems the subversive Briton may be waging an unorthodox awards campaign on the walls and billboards of Los Angeles. Several examples of graffiti bearing the hallmarks of Banksy's style and humor have turned up in areas of the city in recent days, including a Charlie Brown figure apparently bent on arson, and a cocktail-swigging Mickey Mouse.
 
"Glee" cast surpasses Elvis on U.S. singles chart
 
LOS ANGELES - The cast of TV musical comedy "Glee" has beaten the record set by Elvis Presley for the most single entries on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, Billboard said on Wednesday. With six new songs making their debut on the singles chart this week, the young cast of "Glee" has notched up 113 entries on the Hot 100 -- less than two years after the show made its debut in 2009.
 
"King's Speech" awaits Oscar sweep? Not so fast!
 
LOS ANGELES - Having marched through Hollywood's major guild awards with hardly a misstep, royal film "The King's Speech" has in past weeks been a frontrunner to sweep through the Oscars, but that may be about to change. With only about 10 days to go before the world's top film honors, Oscar pundits are re-thinking their picks, and as much as co-hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway are expected to bring a youthful glow to the awards show, the races for best actor and actress could offer some surprises, experts say.
 
Lady Gaga goes straight to No. 1 with "Born This Way"
 
NEW YORK - And you thought her entrance at the Grammy Awards was attention-getting. Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" made music history on Wednesday by going straight to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 song chart to become the 1,000th top song in the list's 52-year history.
 
Tupac Shakur film back on track after legal battle
 
LOS ANGELES - For two years, it seemed the biopic of slain rapper Tupac Shakur, a.k.a. 2Pac, had met a similarly untimely death. The project was long in development at production outfit Morgan Creek, which thought it had struck a deal with Afeni Shakur-Davis, Shakur's mother. Her Amaru Entertainment label was demanding broad creative approval before handing over the necessary life and music rights.
 
Lenny Kravitz album to address black America
 
NEW YORK - Singer and musician Lenny Kravitz will release his first album in three years under the title "Black and White America," and he promised on Wednesday it will be his most musically and lyrically "diverse" yet. The album will be the 46 year-old songwriter's ninth in his career but the first under a new label, Atlantic and Roadrunner Records. It will be released in the middle of 2011 as Kravitz embarks on a world tour in June.
 
Justin Bieber fans accused of pirating concert film
 
NEW YORK - Justin Bieber fans might have gone a little too far in worshipping the teen idol. At a recent VIP screening in Orlando of Bieber's new film, "Never Say Never," a bunch of his fans apparently recorded portions of the movie while documenting the big event on their cellphones.
 
Singer Bruno Mars avoids jail on cocaine charge
 
LOS ANGELES - Fresh off his weekend Grammy win, singer Bruno Mars pleaded guilty to cocaine possession on Wednesday but avoided jail in exchange for probation, community service and drug counseling. Mars, 25, who had a breakthrough year in 2010 with hits "Just the Way You Are" and "Grenade", made a brief appearance in a Las Vegas courtroom where a judge sanctioned a plea deal worked out with prosecutors.
